OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT.
A Deaf Mute WrongfulIy Immured in an
Insane Asylum.

A Deaf Mute Wrongfully Immured in an
Insane Asylum.
Tom Clanton, deaf mute, who has re
sided for many years with his brothers,
Drury and jeff Clanton, at Woodland, and
who accumulated property to the value of
five or six thousand dollars, is well known
to many residents of Sacramento, and
quite generally, personally or by reputation,
in Yolo county. He last summer went to
visit his brother Dave, few miles from
Santa Rosa, and remained there a few
months. but wishing to return home he
wrote to Drury to send him money to pay
his travelling expenses. The Woodland
Mad says the money was sent, but Dave
got possession of it and declared that Tom
should not return to Woodland. and began
fellow more anxious to get back to more
friendly locality, and he started to make
his way there on foot, but Dave overlook
him and forced him TO return. Dave d.
rectly afterwards applied to the Superior
Court for letters of guardianship over
him, and also received authority to sell
his property. Drury and jeff heard
something of this, and last Monday went
to Sonoma county. accompanied by Colonel
Harding as their attorney, to see what was
being done. Arriving at Dawes house they
were astounded to learn that ten DAYS prior
Tom had been declared insane and sent to
the Napa Asylum. Tom, it is said, resisted
arrest violently. and SO desperately did he
rebel against the outrage that it took four
men to put him in prison. Upon the testi-
mony of Dave and others about the place,
he was subsequently committed to the
asylum. Drury Clanton Immediately Wis
tied him at Napa, Colonel Harding and
Joseph Craig accompanying him. They
found Tom in his usual good health, ex-
cept that he was suffering from an ulcer
ated tooth. He expressed himself as ration
ally as ever, and declared that he did not
know why he had been consigned to a
lunatic asylum. The officers of the asylum
said they could discover no symptoms of
insanity about him, and at the request of
Drury Clanton, readily signed papers re-
leasing and discharging him from the asy-
lum. Tom arrived in Woodland Wednes-
day evening with Colonel Harding and his
two brothers, Drury and jeff.

SHOULD BE VEToED.-Governor Bartlett
should veto the Stamp Act" so-called,
passed by the present Legislature. 1t is a
blow to almost every industry on the coast,
and why the members of our Legislature
should so far overlook the duty they owe
to the people as to pass such law We can
not comprehend. We have faith in Gov
ernor Bartlett. We believe he will look at
the matter in its true light and by his veto
put the seal of his condemnation upon an
unjust and Ubiquitous law Wood and Iron.

The Rurns Case.


Additional proceedings in the case of
The People VS.. D. NJ Burns ct al, on trial
at Woodland. were given in the Woodland
Maa yesterday, as follows:
Judge Garoutte made two more rulings
in this case yesterday adverse to the State.
One was that the ballot paper book could
not be admitted III evidence, and the other
was that all moneys received by defendant
Burns for ballot paper. codes, reports, etc,
were not such moneys IS he could be liable
for, under the fee bill applicable to his
office. Under this and previous rulings OF
the Court, Controller Duun's Counsel will
be permitted to introduce evidence of de-
falcation on the part of Burns of only
about 81, 500. OF this, according to testi-
mony admitted, 81 100 was from fees he
had received from the Surveyor-General
for testing land patents. The balance So
400, was fees unaccounted for which he
had entered on the fee book OF the al
legged S31, 700 deficiency, the prosecution
have already been denied to inquire into
81, 200 of the amount, and the defense have
not yet put in any evidence.
The case will probably occupy
the greater part of this week. The
prevailing opinion around town is
that since Sacramento's farcial criminal
prosecution of Burns and his deputy,
Reynolds, for the embezzlement of this
money resulted in their discharge, in the
teeth of the fact that each swore the other
was thief, it is altogether cheeky pro-
ceeding for the State to come over to
Woodland and hop onto the innocent
bondsmen of the unfaithful Secretary.
The State fzzled in its prosecution of Burns
criminally, and after that failure of Justice
il ought to go and bag its head, and let the
bondsmen alone. 1t is not to be doubted
that an extravagant and wasteful Demo-
cratic Legislature has about bankrupted
the State Treasury, and that judgment of
$4,000 against Messrs. Freeman and
Schardin would serve somewhat to brace
up the shaken credit of government suf-
fering from the effects of too much Demo-
cratic economy and reform But still,
the idea of offering these bondsmen as q
yicarious sacrifice for Burns UNPUBLISHED
sins. does not harmonize with the invoi-
untary sentiments of justice of common
people hereabouts."

The measuring of the candle-power of a
light is accomplished by comparing the
shadow cast by rod in the light of STAN
dard candle with the shadow cast by the
light to be tested. By moving the latter
toward or away from the rod point will
be reached at which the shadow cast by
both lights will be of the same intensity
The intensity of the two lights is directly
proportional TO the squares of their dis
tances from the shadows; 1. e., suppose the
light to be tested in three times the dis
lance of the candle, its Illuminating power
is nine times as great.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufactures.
Especially is this the case with Green's Au-
gust Flower and Boschee's German Syrup, as
the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 75-
cent size. The Augatst F2o,ver for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
and village in civilized countries. Sample
bottles, for 10 cents. remain the same size.

THE retaliatory bill having now passed
both Houses of Congress, and the Canadian
Ministry having as late as Tuesday an
nounced its adhesion to its former position,
there remains but one of two sters
to take-to apply retaliatory measures, by
cutting off trade intercourse with Canada
land the bill authorizes the President to
order this done), or to invite the English
Government to arbitrate the issue between
the two nations. As to war, the bare pos
sibility of its resulting is too remote TO be
worthy of present consideration. Neither
country can afford to go TO battle aboutthis
fishery matter, and We do not believe they
will so engage.

As the dispatches now read the effort
has been defeated to deprive the Pacific
coast of the privilege of building one of
the six steel cruisers which Congress
has ordered constructed The objection
raised to the requirement that one of the
ships shall he built upon the Pacific, was
that it would cripple the Navy Depart
ment in securing the best offers, and that
it should be left free to select building
yards without regard to location in the
United States OF course there was some
apparent strength in this, but its force
disappears in the light of the fact that the
Naval Department has the power to reject
any and all bids, and that there is no COM
pulsion upon it to pay at the nod of the
Pacific coast builders. That the cruiser
can be constructed with as good results
as are possible anywhere else in the United
States is now no longer an open question.
ONE of the favorite plans for evading
the Chinese Restriction Act has been the
passing OF of women as wives of China
men entitled to land the women really
being slaves, The Secretary of the Treas
ury has repaired the recent breach in
some small part, by ruling that the wife, or
alleged wife of returning Chinaman, who
has not herself the personal right to land,
cannot claim it under overture of the
husband. Yet it would appear to be
reasonable that if Chinaman entitled to
return was actually married he ought to
be entitled to bring his wife with him.
As so few Cinnamon, however, who come
to California marry, the decision will not
work much hardship. while it will tend to
break up the importation Of female slaves.

nor. The mugwumps agreed to supper
Davenport, who was very popular, If the
Republicans would put him up. The Irish,
of course voted for Hill, and Davenport,
after getting the mugwump vote, was
beaten by II, 1874. Last fall the Democrats
nominated Pecknam, who was not esteemed
popular, for supreme judge. The Irish
voted for him, and he beat Daniels, judge
of great personal popularity, for whom the
mugwumps voted solid, by 1913.
Let us examine few other cases. In
Ohio, in 1894, Robinson, the Republican
candidate for secretary Of state. for whom
the mugwumps voted, was elected at the
October election by II ,324 majority over
Newman, Democrat A fortnight later
the Ohio mugwnmps turned round and
voted for Cleveland, with the result that
Blaine beat him IN the state by 81 ,S02 10
Indiana Cleveland, with mugwump help
beat Blaine 2, 512s but at the same election
Calkins (Republican) for governor, for
whom mugwumps voted, was beaten by
Gray(D emocrat)7, 1872 Calkins was a strong,
popular man, while Gray was scorned
renegade who had left the Republican
party as disappointed office seeker. In
Illinois Blaine had Cleveland, "a 1927; but
the popular War Governor Oglesby, fol
whom all the mugwumps voted, only beat
Harrison IA 623.
There are some lessons in these figures
which it is we'll to study with reference tC

GREED FOR GAIN"

The Central Labor union, of Boston,
lately passed some resolutions, one of
which condemns the West End Railway
Company for engaging in practices which
show that the company is influenced by a
'sgreed for gain" In commenting on this
utterance of the union the Boston Globe
takes occasion to say that the resolution
sounds as if it were stern denunciation;
but when one thinks of the matter twice.
he cannot avoid asking the drafteIs of this
resolution what spirit they suppose
would actuate railroad company in un-
dertaking an extensive and risky opera
ton. We have never yet known of a case
where railroad undertakings were begun
on philanthropic principles, and although,
even among working men, great deal is
said about charity and humanity, we i'm
agine that 500 out of every thousand adult
individuals in this community are actuated
very largely in their everyday work by this
greed for gain which the resolution re-
ferred to apparently denounces. Indeed if
it were not for the greed for gain we
question whether the human race would
exert itself sufficiently to have, in few
generations, any living representatives, ex-
cept in those tropical parts Of the world
where men can exist all the year round
without work, and have no need to take
thought for the morrow" 1t is undenia-
bly, true that this principle of greed for
gain" is the handspring of every magnifi-
cent private enterprise in the country. If
men W ere not actuated by it the laboring
men Of the country would stand very
poor show of getting work to do.

THE STRENGTH OF THE MUGWUMPS

The Chicago Tribune presents the fol
lowing curious array of figures as an in
dex TO the actual strength, and consequent
importance. OF the Mugwump element in
national politics:
1t was but short time ago thai the
murwump organs of New York and Mas
sscbusetis were asked whether they would
support Senator Sherman, Senator Allison,
Senator Harrison. Senator Hswley, or any
other strong party man like either of them.
They replied at once that they would not;
tina, they had been put into new rela-
lions. and a new atmosphere" and that
thew should support Cleveland: from which
il is apparent that the only way for the Re
publicans to get back the mugwumps is TO
support Cleveland. 1t is evident that
neither of these four strong Republican
leaders-and we may add to the list
Senator Windon-can carry the mugwump
vote Wherein. then. are they any stronger
than Mr.. Blaine? But there Is vote that
Mr. Rlaine can get that neither one Of the
others csn command In 1884 he secured
from thirty to forty thousand votes OF Dem
ocratic Irishmen who with any other Re
nnblican candidate would have voted the
democratic ticket. Should he be the can
didate in 1888 he may he counted upon 70
carry between 10000 and 6o,0Oo Irish
votes in New York. With these votes who
ia there that will not vote for him that Will
support any OF the others:
Let us look little al the operation OF
mugwump and Irish vote in that state. In
1881 Cleveland, with the solid mugwump
vote. carried New York over Blaine Win
his Irisi, vote by 1,As. The
next year the Democrats nominated
the spoilsmsn Hill for Cover
